DOE funds available for tribal renewable energy

The U.S. Dept. of Energy is making up to $10 million available this year through the DOE’s Tribal Energy Program "to support the evaluation, development and deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects on tribal lands that will help save energy and money, expand the use of renewable energy resources, and promote economic development for tribal communities."

Arizona tribes have received support for a dozen projects since the mid-'90's. One is the Hualapai Valley Solar project in Mohave County [right].
